As I mentioned before, I think,
this PhD Comics strip is completely factual. As such, I've taken it to heart and am trying to be quicker about my e-mail writing: say what I need to say, don't draw things out, and press 'send'.
I must be doing okay because I replied to
some industry personto tell him our testbed isn't quite ready for release yet, and my advisor complimented me on my response to him. (By which I mean I got an e-mail that read "good note. karsten". He can't even be bothered to capitalize letters.)
